What about the sleeves?

I have finished the body of the Mermaid. My arms are rather short so if anyone could offer advice how to make the sleeves shorter before I start knitting I will be grateful.

I hope to be of some help about the sleeves. I'm 5'4" and about size 10-12. I made the large size mermaid, actually I'm working on a second one. I was able to try on the sample in the store. The sleeves were long! So I shortened them 10 stitches on the bottom, the rest of the design was unchanged. It worked perfect. A friend of mine is taller than me and it looked perfect on her as well. I would say that both of our arms are average. Hope that helps you ladies. Happy knitting from Michigan....Sabine

How tall are you Merete? I'm about 160 cm tall, with average arms! ;-)Takeing of the 10 stitches worked PERFECT for me and like I said in my earlier post a friend of mine is taller than me and the sleeves worked perfect for her as well.Sabine
